Elopement Sneak Peak
We are so excited about the summer issue coming out in June that we wanted to show you a special sneak peek of one of special sections on elopements. Keeping it green has never been easier when you have one of the smallest footprints with only a few or no guests at all! But that does not mean you have to skimp on style!!! Stay tuned for the magazine that goes live on 6/15!!

Royal Sneak Peek
As we gear up for our Summer issue of Eco-Beautiful Weddings…we are also just so excited with all the royal buzz from this morning’s royal wedding. Like this photo above (taken from one of the real weddings we will be showcasing in our summer issue) - be sure to scour the blogs, websites for the details from the wedding. It’s the details like Princess Catherine’s purse or the types of canapes that they are having that can be incorporated into your wedding. We can’t wait to see how long it takes for designers around the world to recreate Princess Catherine’s gown.
You can be a Princess for a Day still…be sure to register today (the last day) on Smartbride to win the greenest prizes to be a Green Princess for a Day!

Real Wedding Inspiration
Instead of featuring one wedding today - we wanted to show several ideas and things we love for real wedding inspiration. We love Mike + Sarah’s wedding shown above at Heavenly Ski Resort last summer by Ocean Blue Photography! Why? We know they took full advantage of using the great outdoors as their main source of decor.
Planning a destination wedding and want it to be green? Why not try the beautiful St. Martin Chalets in Austria? St. Martin Chalets are made from locally sourced and untreated timber with 100% pure sheep’s wool insulation. The water is supplied by a natural spring and heated and powered by their own vegetable oil power plant - all surrounded by the Alps and full of luxurious surprises! (Click on the photo above for more details!)
Getting married in Hawaii? Going for beautiful and casual attendants clothing will ensure they will wear those dresses and outfits again! The Hawaii Island Reteat, near the small village of Hawi of the Big Island is full of eco-friendliness and surrounded by natural beauty as well! (Photo by Karen Loudon)
Kati + Pete’s wedding (photos by BellaLu Photography) from the Spring Issue of Eco-Beautiful Weddings was so chock full of ideas and beautiful photos - we simply can’t get enough! Not only did the bride wear a bright aqua dress, she wore sunflowers in her hair that they grew on their own farm! Their only gift request was a tandem bike and they had a wonderful time promoting local farms for their contribution to the wedding.
Stay local, give back to the community, buy decor and clothing to reuse after the wedding and you are well on your way to having a green wedding. This does not mean that a destination wedding is an ecological disaster. In most major metropolitan cities - they end up being destination weddings anyway for out of town guests. Reduce waste and do the best you can to provide locally produced food and decor. Carbon offset if needed - and by all means have the party of a lifetime!
